First I just want to say that this was a very long project from start to finish, but SO rewarding once guests started getting the invites and seeing their reactions.

 

I want to thank so many of the girls on this forum for their ideas and inspiration for my invites. I do not take credit for the ideas here at all, because I could have never thought of it myself! I made these more of my own in some ways, but just borrowed ideas from different girls on the forum.

 

So here they are!!

Thank you :)) And yes you can!!!! I didn't think I could either, but it's not as hard as you would think! It just takes time. It took us about 6 hours total. We did 4 hours one day and 2 the next day. But that's because the boxes come in white and you have to turn the inside out and hot glue them. Also hot glue on the ribbon to the boxes, cut all the tags, print out labels and filling the bottles. I delegated certain things to my fiancé so that I could get my own part of the project done. So he actually was in charge of the boxes. I filled the bottles and made the tags for both the bottle and the box. Now for the supplies: I already had the clear mailing label, but you can get those at Staples or Walmart We also already had the tags that go on the outside of the box and outside of the bottle. But I did see these at Hobby Lobby The bottles and boxes I got from Sandartsupplies.com Bottles were .89 each boxes were .44 each Sand from Walmart, I got one bag and it was 3.00 60 Gold fasteners for the foam handles from Walmart for 2.88 Umbrellas from Party City for $1.98 Shell stickers that are on the tags from Hobby Lobby, 3 sheets total $11.97 Tiny shells from eBay for $2.27 All ribbon from Hobby Lobby ...they were having 50% off sale!! Rafia from Hobby Lobby $2.99 I think that's it!! My friend is a graphic designer so I designed my invites and RSVPs and she printed them for free for me!!!! Good luck and let me know if you have any other questions!!! :))

Wow great job.  Jealous.  Not sure I would ever be able to do that.

 

Can you please let me know where you got supplies and how long it ended up taking you?

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
